Jennifer Russell+FollowUnpopular Opinion: I Actually LOVE My HOA?! 😂I know everybody has just heard all the HOA horror stories, but I just bought into an HOA, and honestly I'm loving it. My dues are only about $200 a year, and they pretty much just cover mowing common areas and plowing snow. When I bought my first house years ago, I swore I'd never live in an HOA. That decision led to five years of dealing with some seriously trashy neighbors, constant arguments over street parking, and loud parties at all hours. It was a headache. But now, all that chaos is just gone. Nobody's parking on the street. Nobody's using loud tools at random times of the day or night. And no houses have twenty people crammed into them. It's peaceful, and it's amazing. So am I the only one who's actually had a great experience with an HOA? 😳 #HOA #HomeownerLife #UnpopularOpinion #CommunityLiving #GoodNeighbors #RealEstate #Home00Share

Houston’s new CoHousing project is shaking up the way we live—think private homes but with shared spaces like a giant kitchen and community hangouts. The big shift? Less isolation, more instant help when you need it, and built-in social life for the price of a regular home. If you’re tired of feeling alone in the city, this could be your money-smart hack for a happier, more connected life. #RealEstate #CommunityLiving #HoustonRealEstate00Share
